Playin' a pavilion on the outskirts of town,Playin' where my roller derby rolls.Just a part time music man, A nobody at the plant,I'm Tearin' Up The Country with a song.

Mom and Papa told me "Son, you gotta go to school;Only way to make the fam'ly proud."I paid no attention, left my books at home,Rather play my music real loud.

Tearin' Up The Country with a song.Tearin' Up The Country with a song.I paid no attention, left my books at home,Rather play my music real loud.Play it loud, now! Woo!Tearin' Up The Country with a song.Tearin' Up The Country with a song.I paid no attention, left my books at home,Rather play my music real loud.

Ran into a dry spell, seemed nowhere to go.Good luck turned the tide, I'm on my way.I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot,You know I could still be there, but I'm not.

Tearin' Up The Country with a song.Tearin' Up The Country with a song.I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot,You know I could still be there, but I'm not.

Tearin' Up The Country with a song.I'm tearin' Up The Country with a song.I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot,You know I could still be there, but I'm not.
